Nathan Wade to testify before Congress next week

In the United States, Nathan Wade, a former special prosecutor for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, is scheduled to testify before Congress next week. This deposition is part of an ongoing investigation by the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee into Willis's prosecution of former President Donald Trump. Wade had previously evaded a subpoena, leading to the committee employing the U.S. Marshals Service to serve him. He eventually acknowledged the first subpoena just before the scheduled deposition, resulting in his absence. Wade's upcoming testimony will be conducted with his attorney, Andrew Evans, who has stated their intention to fully cooperate with the committee. However, the scope of the deposition is reportedly narrow, focusing on Willis's use of federal funds and any communications Wade may have had with the Biden administration or the now-disbanded January 6 Committee. This inquiry comes amid scrutiny over Wade's romantic relationship with Willis during his tenure on the Trump case, which has raised questions about potential conflicts of interest. The committee's investigation has highlighted Wade's significant earnings from Fulton County while he was involved with Willis, who has faced allegations of politically motivated prosecution. Despite these claims, Willis maintains that her relationship with Wade did not financially benefit her and that they shared expenses. The Georgia Court of Appeals is expected to rule on the implications of Wade and Willis's relationship on the Trump case next year, adding further complexity to the ongoing legal proceedings.
